1857 $1 PR64 NGC. The year 1857 brought numerous changes to
coin collecting in the United States, and the proofs of that year
reflect those shifts. Though the silver proofs of 1857 are not so
rare as their earlier counterparts, at the same time, such pieces
prove much more elusive than specimens from 1858 and later. This
delightful Choice proof is well-defined overall, if a trifle softly
struck on Liberty's head. Deep blue, green, and violet shadings
embrace much of each side, though lighter gold-orange and
silver-gray hints appear at the center of the obverse. Minimally
flawed for the grade with strong eye appeal. Census: 10 in 64, 11
finer (1/11).(Registry
